Chapter 293: Night Killing Machine 2
Mao Xu was angry and walked away.
Although he is as strong as a cow, it looks like he can hammer that guy down with one punch, but what can Mao Xu do in public? Even if he couldn't help but quarrel with the other party, it was his own shame!
Who doesn't know his face?
Who knows Sun Peng's face?
If you really quarrel or fight, you can think about it and know what the result will be, and it can only be Mao Xu, a public figure, who suffers a big loss. Although he knew that Sun Peng was also a well-known writer...... But what people write about is the Internet, can they compare with themselves as a movie star? In other words, those readers would care if he got into a fight with someone else?
Although Mao Xu is muscular, he is not grass in his head.
He is from a serious academic background, and he knows too much about the Tao of this industry. Otherwise, a movie star who is often chased by the paparazzi, Mao Xu can not have any big news all these years? What if many people vaguely knew about his lust? Who can come up with the evidence?
"Xiaopeng, you ...... Alas. ”
Mao Xu's angry departure made Chen Feifei breathe a sigh of relief, but she couldn't help but sigh when she remembered Sun Peng's attitude just now.
Now, it's a complete turnaround.
"What's wrong?"
Raising his eyebrows, Sun Peng asked casually, he was regretting it because Mao Xu endured it at this time.
"What's wrong? You ......"
Looking at Sun Peng's indifferent look, Chen Feifei swallowed back what she was about to say.
yes, what's wrong?
With the goods in this kid's belly, even if he wants to mix in the entertainment industry in the future, let alone offend one Mao Xu, even if he offends ten or twenty? As long as he can write good songs, will the kings of the music world be afraid of offending Mao Xu? If he can write a good script, there are many film and television companies that are not bird Mao Xu, not to mention the publishing houses that are more distant from the entertainment industry.
Gotta have a lot of things to do myself!
Shaking her head with a wry smile, Chen Feifei said helplessly: "Forget it, Xiaopeng, let's continue to eat, don't be in a bad mood because of him." ”
"Sister Feifei, let me ask you something, do you know anything about things in the film industry?"
Blinking his eyes, Sun Peng suddenly asked with a smile.
After thinking for a while, Chen Feifei shook her head and said, "Hardly, I rarely sing the theme song of the movie, and I rarely participate in activities related to them." ”
"That's ......"
Scratching his head, Sun Peng pondered for a moment and then asked, "Then do you know any friends in the film industry?" I mean friends who are really capable, preferably also have a certain status! ”
"Huh? What do you want? ”
Chen Feifei's brain couldn't turn for a while, and she asked in amazement.
"It's nothing, I just want to ask about something."
Smiling slightly, Sun Peng's expression seemed to be very calm: "But Sister Feifei, if you know an action movie director or an action star, that's even better...... Don't worry, I really just want to ask some questions. ”
"Phew, I believe you're the hell!"
……
The queen of heaven turned out to be powerful, and the next day he made an appointment with Sun Peng with a cow.
"Sorry, I'm late!"
I don't know why the evening rush hour is so bad, and Sun Peng was still late when he hurried to the restaurant.
After apologizing, Sun Peng immediately noticed an old handsome guy beside Chen Feifei.
Fifty-four or five years old, about 1.75 meters tall, and a slightly chubby figure, but it is still enough for Sun Peng to call him an old handsome guy - this man's temperament is quite tasteful!
first glared at him fiercely, and then Chen Feifei stood up and said with a smile: "Xiaopeng, let me introduce you, this is Wei Chenli Wei Dao!" ”
Wei Chenli? Where do you seem to have heard of this name?
While secretly searching for the name of the person in his memory, Sun Peng stretched out his right hand and greeted warmly: "Hello Director Wei, I have admired the name for a long time, I am Sun Peng, I am very happy to meet you!" ”
"Hehe, hello!"
Gently shaking hands with Sun Peng, Lao Wei smiled gently: "I heard Fei Fei say that the screenwriter of "Criminal Minds" wanted to see me, I thought it was an old man about the same age as me, but I didn't expect Mr. Sun to be so young...... Haha, but I'm afraid only young people can write a fun film like "Mad Lady", right? ”
That's so comforting!
"Hehe, you've won the prize."
Looking at Wei Chenli's also very comfortable smile, Sun Peng suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and finally remembered who this person was!
Wei Chenli, a former action star!
Thirty years ago...... No, it should have been more than twenty years ago, this Wei Chenli was quite famous. Sun Peng has seen one of his films in his "own" memory, "Angry Crossing Longtan" more than 20 years ago!
The movie channel once broadcast, roughly the story of a retired soldier fighting against local evil forces in order to protect his hometown - the final result is that the retired soldier carried a machine gun from his comrades, angrily killed the enemy's lair, and killed a gang by himself.
The plot is very old-fashioned, and the picture is very middle-two.
Of course, this is from Sun Peng's point of view, but more than 20 years ago, this movie imitating Hollywood production was still quite popular, and it also successfully made Wei Chenli an action star.
But......
Now an action movie director?
searched for his poor memories of domestic movies, and Sun Peng finally gave up. At most, he knows a few of the hottest movie stars and a few big-name directors...... Who cares about who the director is in ordinary movies?
However, there was a look of surprise on his face, and Sun Peng hurriedly said: "Director Wei, I used to like "Angry Longtan" very much, the retired soldier you played is really handsome!" ”
"Huh? At your age, you have also watched "Angry Dragon Pool? 》? ”
Wei Chenli was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile.
It's been an action movie almost thirty years ago, how many young people nowadays will watch it? Not to mention that although "Angry Dragon Pool" was really popular at the time, it was average even in that era......
However, with Sun Peng's words, Wei Chenli's attitude was obviously a lot more affectionate.
The reason why he agreed to come to see Sun Peng was naturally Chen Feifei's face, the two had worked together once before, Chen Feifei sang the theme song for Wei Chenli's movie; On the other hand, I am also more interested in knowing Sun Peng's identity, after all, the drama "Criminal Minds" is really popular, and more and more people like it as time goes by.
As a film director, Wei Chenli also likes this drama.
So the two of them have a common topic, Wei Chenli is concerned about things related to "Criminal Minds", such as whether the second season will start filming, when it will be launched, etc.; And Sun Peng asked the old man why he didn't continue to be an actor later, but became a director......
As you come and go, you know a lot of things.
Although the old man was vague about his past and seemed to be hiding something, Sun Peng also had a general understanding. Since "Angry Dragon Pool" became popular, Wei Chenli's film appointments have continued, but basically most of them are similar follow-up films. So it is conceivable that after acting in a few tepid films, he ate up the old bottom, and then when he was making a movie, he was seriously injured because of the mistake of props......
After the injury recovered, Wei Chenli was also completely out of breath.
The old man was also a high-minded and arrogant master back then, and he was unwilling to pull down his face to beg for help, so he simply gritted his teeth and began to learn to be a director, and he mainly made action movies - this is 20 years!
From assistant director, assistant director to director, Wei Chenli is also experienced in action movies alone.
The delicacies served by the waiters did not interrupt Sun Peng's conversation, and he and Wei Chenli talked about everything from the development of Chinese action movies in recent years to the rise of historical blockbusters, from the status of Chinese films in East Asia to the gap with Hollywood. Of course, the most important thing is that Sun Peng asked, Wei Chen answered immediately, and the questions focused on the project, cooperation, script, director, and so on of making an action movie.
And while talking, they also talked about the current top movie stars in China.
"Director Wei, what do you think of Mao Xu?"
When talking about action actors, Sun Peng asked quietly.
"I knew it!"
Rolling her eyes, Chen Feifei was speechless.
"Mao Xu's words are indeed the top action stars in China."
Wei Chenli, who drank a little wine, had no taboos, and said with a smile: "At least it is among the top three!" In fact, in terms of acting skills, he is quite average, at most, he is similar to me back then, what can really support him is that good figure, and a few good scripts in recent years! For example, why did his upcoming film next month become popular before it was released? Isn't it the box office explosion of the last "Dead in the Night", and everyone's expectations for him have also risen? ”
"Well, that's why his next movie is Dead by Night 2?"
Rubbing his chin, Sun Peng asked thoughtfully.
Although the new film has not yet been released, and Mao Xu will focus on promoting the movie in the next month or two, Sun Peng checked it on the Internet after he went back, and the next movie of the big star has been confirmed - "Dark Dead 2", which will be filmed in the second half of the year and released in the summer vacation next year!
"That's right, let's chase while we win!"
Nodding, Wei Chenli said with a smile: "This is also a common problem in the film industry now, a sequel will be made when a movie is popular, especially for more entertaining movies such as action, science fiction and comedy, because the probability of success is higher!" If you're lucky, the second and third parts also hit the ground, do you believe that this will be a series in the future? ”
"Faith! Of course I do! ”
Without hesitation at all, Sun Peng immediately nodded.
In his previous life, Hollywood was a veteran of playing this, and later Chinese mainland movies slowly learned, Sun Peng was most impressed by a certain Fengyun series, anyway, the audience also bought those movie stars, and the undisciplined money was enough......
After holding Wei Chenli, Sun Peng asked another question seemingly inadvertently: "Director Wei, do you know what the general plot of "Dead in the Night 2" is about? ”
